JOHN FRANCIS DE VELDER, OF ROCHESTER, NEW YORK;

SANITARY GARBAGE can.

Application filed June 6, 1927. Serial No. 196,668.

The object of this invention is to pro vide a new and improved form of sanitary garbage receptacle in'which the garbage is collected in an auxiliary paper receptacle so that when it is filled it can be removed from the garbage receptacle with the gar bage, and another paper receptacle can be put in its place.

This and other objects of this invention will be fully illustrated in the drawing, de-

scribed in the specification and pointed out in the claims at the end thereof.

In the accompanying drawing, the figure illustrates a perspective view of the garbage receptacle with a portion of it broken away to show the construction thereof.

As illustrated in the figure of the drawing, the sanitary garbage receptacle coniprises a frame which consists of a circular or ring shaped base 1 having a series of uprights 2, 2 mounted thereon. The top of these uprights are connected by a ring memher 3 in which the cone shaped garbage can 4 is suspended. This can is preferably made of sheet metal and is suitably fastened to the top of the frame to form an integral part therewith. In the bottom of the cone shaped receptacle is provided a bolt 5 and on this bolt is pivoted the separating bar 6.

This bar extends from the bottom of the receptacle to the top thereof where it is bent outwardly to form a handle 7 by means of which the separating bar may be rotated within the receptacle along the conical inner wall thereof.

On the edge of the receptacle 4 is mounted the cover 8 so that it can be swung in place over the receptacle to be covered thereby. Supplementing the garbage receptacle 4 is another conical receptacle 9 which is preferably made of paper or other cheap material. This second receptacle is adapted to telescope into the outer receptacle and being cone shaped like the outer receptacle centers itself automatically therein on the insertion thereof. This second auxiliary cone shaped paper receptacle is not quite as deep as the outer permanent receptacle 4 andits walls have preferably a slightly different angle than the walls of the receptacle into which it is placed. In this way the contact between the inner auxiliary receptacle and the outer permanent recep tacle is reduced to a minimum that makes the removal of the temporary paper receptacle from the permanent receptacle much easier especially when the temporary receptacle has been filled with garbage.

At or near the top of the temporary paper receptacle are provided a pair of suitable handles, a pair of holes 10, 10 being shown in the figure to supply these handles so that the temporary paper receptacle can be taken hold of and lifted thereby to remove it from the permanent receptacle. -To loosen the inner temporary paper receptacle from the outer permanent receptacle prior to its removal therefrom after it has been filled, the separating bar 6 is rotated and moved around the permanent receptacle between its inner wall and the outer wall of the inner temporary paper receptacle. This loosens the tightv contact between the two receptacles which is formed between them when the paper receptacle is being filled with garbage. This is due to the weight of the garbage which draws the paper receptacle deeper into the permanent receptacle. Then too in the winter time the liquid matter contained in the garbage is apt to so freeze and ice will form between the paper receptacle and the outer receptacle and freeze the paper receptacle in place in the outer receptacle. This ice joint is, however, quickly broken on the movement of the separating bar 6 and will loosen the paper receptacle so that it can be readily removed from the permanent outer receptacle.

By the use of this sanitary garbage receptacle all of the garbage can be easily my and quickly removed and deposited into the garbage wagon without having to lift a heavy can therewith and without breaking up the garbage can in trying to empty the garbage adhering to the walls thereof, espeg5 cially during winter weather. The temporary paper container or receptacle is thrown away with the garbage and a new paper receptacle is put in its place in the permanent receptacle, leaving the garbage can in a clean sanitary condition at all times.

I claim:

In a sanitary garbage can, the combination of a supporting frame having a base m5 at the bottom and a supporting ring at the top, a rigid conical receptacle suspended in said supporting ring, a separating bar pivoted in the conical bottom of said receptacle and projecting upwardly therefrom on the inner wall thereof, a handle at the top of said separating bar projecting outwardly from said receptacle, a conical paper receptacle adapted to nest intosaid first named conical receptacle with said separating bar located between said first and said second named receptacle, the angle of the Wall of said conical paper receptacle being smaller than the angle of said first named receptacle to keep the walls of both'of said receptaclesv separated except at the top thereof.

In testimony whereot I aflix my signature. V JOHN FRANCIS DE VELDER. v
